26/06/09 : New Paintings
Just a quick note to say I have just updated the Bits & Pieces section of the website following Charlie's recent trip to Norfolk.
25/06/09 : Ready To Paint New York
Just got back from doing the photo shoot for the new book which is due out in January, its another one of the ready to paint series, but this time New York in watercolours.

Apparently according to the publishers there is a huge demand for this in New York. Not the usual thing that I do, but fun nevertheless. 

I just thought you would like to see what happens during the photo shoot days. Sorry about the quality of the photographs but they were taken on my mobile phone.

25/06/09 : Filming 2009
As you can see filming is well under way now for a new series which will start airing in January 2010. The TV producers, Orion TV, Say that this is going to be bigger and better than any other TV series I've ever done.

All I know is that its taking 2 and and sometimes 3 days to make 1 half hour programme. So these things are packed full of information. The other thing of course is that they are not just in the north east as the last series were. These are going to be filmed all over the country and the next 2 we are making are down in Kent.

The series is going to take the whole of the summer to film as you will be checking out the diary. This is because the production company have to take me whenever they can get me because I'm not in the habit of cancelling other things such as art societies for filming. Hopefully its going to be a long hot summer.
